Support WebCast: Microsoft Office XP: Deploying Service Pack 2 (326131)

Session Summary

During this Support WebCast, you will learn about the various ways that you can deploy Microsoft Office XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) in an enterprise computing environment. You will find out how to use Ohotfix.exe to chain client-side patch deployment and administrative patching. Because SP2 is a new baseline for Office XP, you will also hear how this will affect the rollout of Office XP in an environment where previous versions of Office XP have been deployed. You will also learn how to provide additional failover resiliency for client-side patches and how to use some of the new tools that are available on the Office Resource Kit site to manage patches in your environment.

This is a Level 400 session that was recorded September 11, 2002 and presented by Mark Plantenberg. Mark Plantenberg has been with Microsoft as an Office Deployment Engineer in Product Support Services since May 1999 and has worked with Premier Customers in Office Deployment for the past two years.

Before Microsoft, Mark was a Network Administrator and worked with a Microsoft Partner to develop a business solution for auto dealerships.
